Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The project is located in Qingdao Laoshan scenic area. Designers used the European missionaries a hundred years ago as the entry point. They took the wind and waves and traveled thousands of miles. With the sights and experiences of all the way, the sugar gourd in the streets and lanes was blown. Sugar people, pinching clay people, fishermen rushing to the sea and so on to launch a wonderful picture for the branch line.
- Inspiration
- Their original intention is to immerse people in the hotel space, indulge in the romantic scenery of the cascading, taste the sings of Eastern and Western cultures, like washing themselves in the heavens and the earth, and feel the traditional culture from the local characteristics such as Lushan, Huanghai and Taoism. The fusion of European thought and the search for a balance between man and sea. Advocating nature, returning to nature, health and wellness, this may be the meaning of life.
- Research
- Europeans have left many European-style buildings in Qingdao, especially German-style buildings, which is also an important part of the city's modern and contemporary architectural art landscape. These buildings reflect the aesthetics of European modern architectural art and play a leading role in the modern Qingdao City.
- Challenge
- European-style architecture blending traditional Taoist culture is a challenge. Designers have come here through a large amount of information from European missionaries who came to the sea a hundred years ago. From his perspective, the fusion of the twelve scenic spots and the Taoist culture is the western ideal. Use the European method to enlarge the local characteristics, and combine Chinese and Western.
- Realization and Technology
- The main materials in this project are Stone, brushed bronze, wire art glass, mountain wood veneer, painted lacquered board, wallpaper, art paint and art floor.
- Operation and Interaction

- Project Duration and Location

- Specifications
